It was morning at The Smith's residence. Helena was making breakfast for her, her husband, and her younger daughter.
"Morning, Mom." Brianna yawned as she came down the stairs.
"Morning, Brianna, sleep well?" Helena smiled to her daughter.
"Perfect," Brianna smiled back. "The weekend is always the best time to sleep."
"Good, now let's see if we can get your father to wake up too." Helena chuckled.
Speaking of the devil, Vic soon came downstairs, yawning and scratching his head.
"Morning, dear." Helena greeted.
"Morning, Dad." Brianna added.
"Hey, girls." Vic smiled to his wife and younger daughter.
"So, Brianna, any plans for today?" Helena smiled.
"Oh, you know, the usual," Brianna replied. "Gonna solve a mystery with Mystery Inc."
"Oh, what's the mystery this time?" Vic asked as he put jelly on his toast.
"Well, this mystery is in Gotham City actually," Brianna explained. "Something about a puppet ghost."
"Gotham City?" Helena and Vic repeated curiously.
"Yeah, it's going to be great." Brianna smiled in excitement.
Vic was about to say something, but his phone buzzed and he got a text message saying "Question, I need your help, it's an emergency", it also had a Bat symbol on it.
Helena looked over to her husband.
"It's work." Vic told Brianna and Helena.
"He needs you?" Helena asked.
"Right away, but don't worry, I'll be back." Vic promised as he went upstairs to put on his Question costume on, he then looked in his mirror before putting on his faceless mask and his fedora.
"Anyway, I'm gonna get dressed and wait for the Mystery Machine." Brianna told her mother.
"Of course, dear," Helena smiled. "I know you will, but be careful, some of these mysteries you and your friends solve can be dangerous sometimes."
"Right, don't worry, Mom," Brianna replied. "I'll be careful."
"I know you will, dear." Helena nodded.
Brianna smiled and went upstairs to get dressed.
Meanwhile, at Jo's place, she was listening to her music as her phone was buzzing as well, just like Vic's. The jockette pulled out her phone and it said "Jo, I need your help, it's an emergency", it had the Bat symbol on it.
"Bruce... I wonder what's up?" Jo muttered to herself since she knew how important this text was and who it had come from. She then texted back and sent the message to her godfather. "I'm on my way."
Steve and Cleo were sleeping in the living room together and Jo suddenly walked by.
Cleo yawned and stretched while looking to the jockette. "Going somewhere, Jo?" she then asked her new owner.
"Yeah, I gotta go to Gotham City," Jo told her. "It's an emergency."
Steve and Cleo looked to each other and looked to their owner. Jo soon texted Sue to let her know she had to get going, and soon went to get ready to head to Gotham City to meet Bruce. She went to her car and pressed a button and her Shadow Wolf costume appeared. Cleo and Steve stayed put, though they looked concerned for Jo. Jo took her superhero costume and put it in her backpack as she put it over her shoulders and was about to go and visit her godfather who was The Dark Knight of Gotham City. Only thing was that Robin the Boy Wonder would not be there since he now worked with the Teen Titans such as Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire.
"Whatever this is must be important." The jockette said to herself.
Cleo and Steve looked to Jo.
"I gotta go, you guys," Jo told the dogs. "Sue and Autumn will be back from Malph's Market pretty soon."
"Be careful." Steve warned.
"But wait, what if Justine comes over?" Cleo asked.
"You let me worry about that," Jo said. "Be good you guys."
"We will." Steve and Cleo promised their owner.
Jo soon pet them both on the head and went to leave for Gotham City since Bruce told her to come straight over. "Don't worry, Bruce, I'm on my way." she said to herself.
Steve and Cleo watched out the window as Jo soon left.
After breakfast, Brianna went to wait for the Mystery Machine to pick her up for their mission today.
"Am I late?" Trent smiled as he came over to his girlfriend.
"Nope, you're fine." Brianna replied.
Trent sat at the bench with Brianna. "It's been a slow week at school."
"Tell me about it..." Brianna replied. "I was worried that even I would fall asleep in class."
Justine came over to the duo, looking upset.
"Hey, Justine, what's wrong?" Trent asked the shy beauty.
"Have you guys seen Jo anywhere?" Justine sighed. "She hasn't answered my calls or my texts."
"No, we haven't, in fact, we haven't seen her all morning." Trent replied.
"Did you check her house?" Trent asked.
"She's not there either..." Justine sulked as she sat with them. "Oh, sorry, do you mind if I sit here?"
"Not at all, go ahead," Brianna said. "That's not like Jo though, you guys are so close."
"Hey, don't worry, I'm sure that Jo will turn up," Trent soothed. "Say, listen, why don't you come with us to Gotham City?"
"Maybe that's where Jo is." Brianna added.
"I guess that's a good point..." Justine admitted. "Jo does know Bruce Wayne."
"So, whatya say, you wanna come with us?" Trent invited.
"Sure..." Justine replied. "As long as you don't mind if Justin, Zan, Jayna, and Zan's girlfriend come along."
"Zan has a girlfriend?" Trent asked.
"Yeah," Justine nodded. "Her name is Paulina Sanchez."
"Huh, I thought Zan liked Celina from The Trix?" Brianna replied with a shrug.
"Um... Did you say Paulina Sanchez?" Trent uneasily asked Justine.
"Uh-huh." Justine confirmed.
"I always thought she was kind of... Well... The alpha bitch type... But good for Zan, I guess." Trent shrugged.
"Just behave yourself in front of Paulina." Brianna warned.
"I will." Trent promised.
Justine just sighed as she tried to get a hold of Jo, but it would be no use.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Jo will answer you soon." Brianna soothed the shy beauty.
"Yeah, it could be important," Trent added. "Why else would she go to Gotham City?"
"Maybe." Justine shrugged.
Brianna gave Justine a small hug as she felt bad for her.
"So, Paulina, you ready for Gotham City?" Zan asked his new girlfriend.
"It sounds spooky..." Paulina replied. "I'm just glad you're going with me. I just hope Penny doesn't get mad at me for missing her visit to Space Camp with Papa and her mother while I'm visiting Cartoon Network City."
"Well, we're going to Gotham City, and that's where Batman lives," Jayna told the Latina girl. "He's going to be surprised to see us."
Unknown to them, Courtney was spying on Jayna with her binoculars, listening to their conservation. "Not if I can help it."
Jayna looked around, but shrugged as she smiled to her brother and his new girlfriend.
Soon enough, the Mystery Machine rode up for Brianna and Trent, but Fred and Daphne looked surprised to see the Reid and Wonder twins also there.
"Sorry if I didn't tell you, but they wanted to come." Brianna told Mystery Inc.
"It's okay," Fred smiled. "I'm glad that your friends want to come."
"Oh, my gosh, you're the Mystery Inc!" Paulina squealed. "I am a huge fan of your work!"
"Oh, um, thanks..." Velma smiled. "Um..."
"Paulina," The Latina girl smiled back. "Paulina Sanchez."
"Paulina," Velma smiled. "Thank you, it's nice to be appreciated."
"Scooby-Doo, you're so adorable!" Paulina beamed as she went over to hug the cowardly Great Dane.
Scooby giggled and smiled to the Latina girl.
"She's my girlfriend," Zan told Mystery Inc about Paulina. "She's from Nicktropolis."
"Well, it's nice to meet you," Fred replied. "Is that everyone?"
"I believe so." Brianna said.
"Not so fast!" Courtney's voice called out.
Everyone looked around.
"Over here!" Courtney glared and then suddenly all eyes were on her.
"What do you want now, Courtney?" Justin rolled his eyes at the CIT.
"I'm going with you on this trip." Courtney replied.
"Says who?" Jayna asked.
"Says me." Courtney glared.
"Yeah, I don't see how that helps any of us." Trent deadpanned.
"I want to go because I've never been anywhere with Mystery Inc." Courtney replied.
"You just wanna come because Jayna is coming too, and you want to destroy her so that you can have Justin." Brianna deadpanned.
"That's not true, I didn't even notice Justin was here." Courtney grinned innocently.
"Uh-huh..." The others muttered in disbelief.
"Well, the more the merrier... I guess...?" Fred smiled nervously.
"Fred, don't let her come," Trent begged. "She's crazy, I mean, she's not even our friend!"
"But Ed's sister came during that pirate mystery." Daphne reminded.
"True, but that's different," Brianna defended. "Ed had to watch Sarah because their folks went on their honeymoon."
"Like, I say as long as she doesn't hog the Scooby Snax, she's okay by me." Shaggy stated.
"Reah roo." Scooby agreed.
"We'll keep an eye on her for you." Velma offered.
"Glad that you could see it my way." Courtney said before getting into the van.
Of course, the ones who didn't like Courtney felt like they weren't going to enjoy this at all as they drove off to solve the mystery as Jo was making her way to Gotham City.
Jo looked down at her phone as she got text messages and phone calls from her girlfriend.
"Jo." A voice called.
Jo looked up and put her hand up as she saw her godfather.
"Glad you could make it," Bruce said. "By the way, how's Robin doing in the Teen Titans? I kinda miss him."
"He's doing good; they're recruiting more Teen Titans members to defeat The Brotherhood of Evil," Jo replied. "So, what's up?"
"Come with me," Bruce told her. "We'll talk in the limo."
Alfred stood by the limo and opened the door for Bruce and Jo. "Master Wayne... Miss Elliot." he then nodded to both of them.
"Hey, Alfred." Jo greeted.
Alfred shut the limo door and went to the driver's seat and drove off.
"So, what's wrong?" Jo asked her godfather.
"It's about our greatest enemies, they have formed a team-up." Bruce told Jo.
"Who?" Jo asked. "The Joker? The Penguin? Poison Ivy? Catwoman?"
"All of them." Bruce replied.
"All of them?!" Jo's eyes widened.
"I'm afraid so," Bruce nodded to her. "There's even more where that came from."
"But why?" Jo asked.
"That's what we need to find out," Bruce told her. "It's going to be a big job for all of us, that's why I contacted a few others to help us, such as Question."
"Brianna's dad." Jo whispered.
"I called other heroes too such as Aquaman, Black Canary, Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter, Detective Chimp, and of course, Shadow Wolf too." Bruce continued.
"Do you really have to remind me of Shadow Wolf?" Jo teased her godfather.
"Yes, I do," Bruce replied. "There's also a new criminal on the loose known as The Crimson Cloak."
"I never heard of that guy before." Jo said.
"He's trying to take over Gotham, hopefully you can find out more about him." Bruce said.
"Probably," Jo shrugged. "The only Crimson I know is that goth girl from school who hangs around another goth kid, her boyfriend, Ennui. They're pretty weird, they usually don't talk to anyone but each other."
"That's why I called you." Bruce told her.
"You know that you can always count on me." Jo said.
"I know I can," Bruce smirked. "Glad to have you on board."
"You know it." Jo smirked back.
The limo soon drove them off to Wayne Manor and Alfred drove them there with no problem.
